This research examines the philosophy of happiness in the thought of Miskawayh by analyzing its ethical and intellectual foundations. It highlights the relationship between happiness, virtue, and self-discipline, and compares his views with those of Aristotle and Al-Farabi. The study adopts analytical and comparative approaches and concludes that happiness, according to Miskawayh, is not sensory pleasure but an intellectual and moral state achieved through virtue and moderation.
